Defense never stems from offense.
Defense might become less important due to a powerful offense, but you never become better defensively due to the offense.
Your offense however, does become better from having better defensemen that know how to carry and pass the puck.
The whole point of getting it scoped is so there are no further setbacks and stop the swelling. Loose bodies inside the knee caused swelling and probably was the source of the August setback.
the silver lining of this cloud is that the longer he is out, the stronger his ACL gets limiting the possibility of re-injury.
What I highlighted makes absolutely no sense at all.
An ACL is not like a muscle where it can be strengthened.
Tendons and ligaments absolutely can be strengthened. They take very much longer to do so, however. Don't believe me?
Try doing this:
Now that you've tried this, you may notice that your fingers have swollen to the size of bratwursts, and you are in an incredible amount of pain.
Why isn't he?
Hmmmm...there's more to this than we previously thought!
The role of a ligament in the human body is to provide stability to joints. They can stretch very slightly but cannot contract. Ligaments are not elastic.
Exercise does strengthen muscles that will take the strain off of ligaments.
What your video showed was the use of tendons in the hand, not ligaments. And yes, there are muscles in the fingers. Those tendons in the fingers transfer the pull of muscle to a bone.
But if you think that you can work out your ligaments and tendons to make them stronger, more power to you. (Really you will be strengthening your muscles so that will benefit them.)
You could take some supplements that help build up collagen levels.
How can anybody think this is good news? This is very disappointing news imo. Another 3-5 weeks...and at this point I wouldn't be surprised if it's more than 5 weeks. What a joke. I like Markie, but what a joke this is.
I don't fully agree if the surgery is only to clean-up some hardened ligaments, it's really minor. 1 week and he's training again.

You wouldn’t wish on your worst enemy the rehab program Markov has endured or the uncertainty he’s lived with the past year and a half.
Is he ****ing kidding me? Collecting an enormous paycheck while doing rehab, and having all the perks of being a famous athlete in Montreal? Things like this just make me sick.
Hey Stubbs, maybe walk through the childrens hospital sometime, take a tour through the cancer ward, maybe take a short walk where the terminally ill are, and then rethink what a pile of rubbish you wrote.

Wow, forget your meds today? Only Habs fans are this insane about their injured players...
You are very selective in your quote process...you have your opinion, and I have mine, but man come on...
